On:

Starfleet has numerous ships, from the massive capital ships too smaller cruisers, frigates, destroyers and numerous support ships, then there's the transport ships. In the case of the one where Doctor Joseph Benjamin was passenger looked like something left over from the early twenty third century, the older Idris Class ship was a relic from another time. small quarters, limited amenities, and they showed their respective age. Joe sat in the small quarters, it was more of a bunk room truthfully, a bunk, small washroom a limited replicator and a fold out table near the bunk that was it,

Joe had his clothing with him, his other bags were in the cargo hold, most of his other possessions consisted of his hickey equipment and a few trinkets he kept, He'd explored the ship, what there was too explore, there was a mess hall and a small lounge that were empty most of the time, Joe killed the three day trip reading, closing files and sleeping but the boredom was catching up, by the time the ship was a few hours away from the Station Joe had collected his possessions, and was ready to get off this barge of the damned

A crewman caught up with Joe, "Doctor would you like to beam too our ship or go via the station?"

"Beam me over, let's get this misadventure underway." Joe said with a growl

Standing in the transporter room Joseph hefted his hockey equipment bag on one shoulder while holding his stick bag and duffel bag in the other hand, he waited his turn, "Doctor Benjamin are you ready?

"Sure why not." Joseph said as he set down the heavier bag.

"Halo this is transport ship Mason we have the doctor ready for transport awaiting your signal." The transporter tech said

"Transporter lock on confirmed transport, ready." the disembodied voice said

Moments later Joe materialized on the ship a crewman was standing a step back from the transporter pad, "Doctor welcome to the USS Halo."

"Thank you crewman." Joe set down the equipment bag again on the deck "Where exactly are my quarters on this....ship" he said not wanting to say what he really thought.

"You're with the rest of the senior officers sir I can arrange for someone to show you the way.." The crewman said

"Yeah you'd better I've never been on a ship this large." Joseph said not even exaggerating

As the wove their way through the corridors and turbolifts, Joseph took in some of his surroundings as the rounded a corner near what was clearly senior officer territory Joe paused slightly, it was at this moment he looked behind him. "This is one massive ship!"

"Yes sir, you've never been aboard this class?"

"No, the largest ship I've served aboard was the Endeavour and she was a Nebula class." Joe commented

"Nebula? aren't many of those in service these days." the crewman commented

"No kidding, they were in the minority of ships not ripped to shreds by that whole mess a couple of years ago." The Doctor didn't want to talk about how he really felt to some crewman

"Anyways sir here's your quarters, I believe the Captain is in a briefing or maybe his ready room if you wanted to check in."

"Thank you crewman, I'll check in soon as I get my bags squared away, along with sickbay." Joe said basically excusing the crewman.

Joe put the equipment bag on a bench next too the door setting the stick bag next to it, the blade of the hockey stick on the deck. He looked around, the quarters were an improvement over well just about everything he figured, He paused for a second thinking this wouldn't be so bad, he'd get a few papers written maybe find a nice place to settle down after his term in Starfleet was finally done and just maybe.... Find some peace.
